"Who is Ryuu?" Briony inquired as soon as their car stopped somewhere in the small village that is not frequently seen with passers-by.
Brylee gave her a side-eye. She is really pissed off. She didn't expect Bell to hold such information that she could be used against her.
"He is a nobody." She snapped at Briony.
"Oookay," Briony replied, raising both her hands in the air.
"So, do you think this is a good place?" Briony said looking around the place. They didn't get out of the car yet.
They were parked under a huge tree on the side of the street. There were no houses or establishments around. Though there were some a few meters away from them.
"Can you move the car a little bit forward, I cannot see you. The tree is hiding you." They heard Brina speak.
"Okay," Brylee replied.
After they make sure that Brina has a vision of their car. Brylee and Briony changed seats without getting out of the car.
"Okay, I'm ready," Brina said.
"I'll be just in here. Inform me if anything." Briony replied.
Brylee nodded her head and in a blink of an eye, she's gone.
After a couple of seconds, they heard Brylee say, "I'm in." In a low voice.
"Okay, where are you?" Brina asked while looking at the screen of another laptop.
There were three monitors in front of her. On the first, she is watching as Bell and Bianca are walking away from the house that they found to be Torin Wald's former house.
The second one is where she is watching over Briony's location.
And on the third one, which she is looking at now is the layout of the convent.
"Uhm... this is a small room with nothing but a black huge pot at the center," Brylee said while walking around silently.
"That's probably the warming room. Try the door to the north and you'll find the cloister and the garden. The first door on the left will be the dining room followed by the kitchen. See if you can find anyone there." Brina gave Brylee the instructions.
"Okay," Brylee replied.
"And Brylee, do not speak unless necessary. We don't want anyone hearing you." Brina added.
Brylee didn't reply and just nodded her head as if they could see her. She started walking cautiously towards the north door. She looked around first before she stepped out of the warming room and found the cloister that Brina is talking about.
It is a rectangular covered walkway built around a garden. And she found the cloister and garden empty.
She turned to her left side and found the door leading to the dining room. Standing against the wall, she peeked inside the dining room and found it empty as well.
She walked towards the next door which is the kitchen when she heard footsteps. She narrowed her eyes and sensed that the footsteps were coming from the kitchen. She immediately turned around and hid in the dining room.
She saw a long table at the center with rows of chairs. It was covered in white cloth. On the table were plates and utensils. It looks like they were preparing for lunch. She decided to hide under the table.
If they were preparing lunch, it would not take long before the whole place would be filled with people. She could stay there and eavesdrop.
Meanwhile, Bell and Bianca stayed inside their car and waited for any development. Brina is still monitoring Torin's house.
